    The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed an $8.2 billion water projects bill by a vote of 417 to 3 opposed.

    The tea party mafia external groups that score votes all were against it: Freedom Works, Taxpayers for Common Sense, and Heritage Action.

    Yet the House overwhelmingly passed it. http://news.yahoo.com/house-passes-8-2-billion-water-projects-bill-222444886--politics.html

    The bill is being "sold" as a jobs bill, an economic bill, an infrastructure bill, etc.

    Its interesting to see how quickly the House turned around, and specifically members of the GOP reversed themselves on spending after taking the worst public reaction reverse in history.
